To skirt Canadian employment laws, a previous employer gave me unrealistic targets and even when I acheived them she would say I’m underperforming. This exists in every country. Employers will always find a way to make it look like the employee quit of their own volition.

I think part of the issue is the individualistic culture of Ottawa. Everyone just minds their own business to a fault here.

Possibly because they refuse to admit that they are being obtuse.

Konami published a lot of games that had potential but they didn’t really take them anywhere.

You could probably build something decent for CAD$1000. Canada computers often have massive discounts on a lot of items. US$700 to CAD$1000 is not that far apart. The console would probably still be more performant but the point is, the prices are not that far apart anymore.

That has been pretty much my life lately here in Ottawa. I’ll take boring any day over busy, overcrowded cities.

What helps me is listening to music with repeating sounds. It paces me and allows me to keep doing things for a longer period of time.

Thanks for sharing that. That was informative.

Poor eye contact and abnormal postures have their own categories? I’ve always lumped them together as “poor body control”

Thank you.

Or a giant bull on an even bigger fish, depending on your reference.

I am genetically blessed with a chronic form of histamine allergies that keep my sinuses blocked. On bad days, I have to heat water, then let it cool, and then add a specific salt then use a medical pump to pump them all the way through my nostrils until they reach the back of my throat to make sure the canals are open. Doctor’s orders and all. I assure you, we are not doing this for fun.
